Elevate is a skills-building programme for socially engaged theatre-makers and artists who are interested in working with a specific community of people. It is designed as a practical, explorative course that we hope builds a lasting creative community. We have a cohort of practitioners signed up for the term, but we also open up some sessions (six in total) for all to pay to book on to.

This workshop will benefit anybody who works to build stories within groups - not just for theatre practitioners. Writers and other story tellers may also find this helpful.

If the price is a barrier for you to attending the workshop, please email [email protected] to discuss how we can help you attend.

Access: The workshop will be in our theatre which is accessed via five steps. A lift is available for those who need it. We have an accessible toilet on site. We're keen to accommodate you and can work to help out with further access requests. For example, we can offer use of on-site wheelchairs and walkers, we can save a spot for you in our carpark, allocate a free ticket to your carer or companion, sighted guiding, any printouts can be provided in large print, and more.

We are very keen to accommodate you - please reach out to request adjustments (including any you have that are not listed above) by contacting [email protected]
